I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
This is the down-and-dirtiest possible introduction, leaving out specifics like the Frank Miller storylines with Electra. It's more 'this is how I got my powers, my dad died, and I'm a lawyer now, too.'
Alright. It's well done for how many pages the author had, and it's gorgeously illustrated, but... man. I wish there was more to this. This is supposed to help those who want to jump in on the Legacy numbering - they started doing Daredevil with 'legacy numbers' meaning it counts all the DD series with that exact title before. So it jumps from 28 to 595. I think that's what these are meant for, but they're really way to short to really give you a sense of the character. Also, factual storyline doesn't give you a sense of who the character is: Matt's hopefulness and sense of humor don't come through at all!
More than decent for what it is, but it could be a little more.
